Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday said West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar’s move to prorogue the Legislative Assembly Session was without any propriety and went against the established norms and conventions.

The ‘symbolic’ head of the State should be the role model to uphold the constitution. “Beauty of democracy lies in extending mutual respect to each other,” Mr. Stalin said in a Twitter post.
